These are really just metric system units of measure.
"K" is abreviation for "Kilo" (1000)
"M" is abreviation for "Mega" (1000000)
"G" is abreviation for "Giga" (1000000000)
So each is 1000 times the previous.
A Megabyte is a million bytes (characters).
A Gigabyte is a billion bytes.
Word processing files are often in the kilobyte range. Photo files are in the megabyte range. The capacity of hard drives is in the gigabyte range.
Good Luck
